TOY.

Specification of Le tars Patent.

Patented Nov. 17, 1908.

Application filed may 14, 1908. Serial No. $32,815.

- To all whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, ALBERT J. NUsLY, J r., a citizen of the United States, .residing at Cant'om-in the county of Stark and State of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Toys; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the same, reference bemg making a part of this specification, andto the had to the accompanying drawings,

numerals and figures of reference marked thereon, 1n wh1ch' Figure 1 is a perspective view showing the d'ifi'erent parts of the toy properly connected together. Fig. 2 is an edge view. Fig. 3

is a View showing the hub, one of the arms in full and a portion of the handle and the handle detached from the hub. Fig. 4 is a View showing one of the blade disks or heads showing two blades properly connected.

The present invention has relation to toys and it consists in the novel arrangement hereinafter described, and particularly pointed out in the claims.

Similar numerals of reference indlcate cor- 'responding.parts in all the figures of the drawing.

In the accompanying drawing, 1 repre sents the hub of the wheel proper, which hub is loosely mounted upon the handle 2 and detachably connected thereto. -To the hill? 1 are attached the radial arms or spokes 3, which arms or spokes are preferably formed of equal lengths. To the outer ends of the radial arms or spokes 3 are connected the short posts 4, which posts are located at an angle to the axis of the hub. Upon the short posts 4 are rotatably mounted the blade car: rying disks 5, said blade carrying disks being connected to the posts 4 by means of the pins 6 or their equivalents, which pins are'co'nnected to the post 4 in any convenient and Well known manner. The object and purpose ofproviding the pins 6 and locating the pins through the disks 5 is to reduce the friction as between the posts 4 and the disks 5. To the disks 5 are connected the blades 7 which blades are located at angles to each other, and all of said blades located at an angle to the axis of the hub. To each disk 5 are connected four blades 7, but this num= ber may be increased or decreased as desired, but the various hubs 5 should all be provided with the same number of blades, say four,

which four blades are so attached to the disks 5 as to constitute an individual wind wheel,

which wind wheel is located at an angle to the axis of the hub 1 other than a right angle, that is to say each individual wheel is in clined to a-perpendicularline at right angles to the plane of the hub l and the arms 3.

It will be understood that it is desirable to provide means for detachably connecting the hub 1 together with the dilferent parts carried thereby, and in order to provide for detachably connecting the handle to the hub 1, said handle is provided with the slits or kerfs 8 located at right angles to each other. The extreme end of the handle 2 is provided with the conical head 9, which conical head is for the purpose of holding the hub 1 together with the different parts. carried thereby, which hub is located between the annular shoulder 10 and said head.

It will be understood that by providing the kerfs 9 the segmental members of the head 9 can be compressed as they are passed throughthe aperture 11 formed'in the hub 1, andafter said segmental members have fully passed through the aperture 9 they -will expand and hold the hubl in such a manner that said hub together with the different parts carried thereby will rotate upon the handle 2.

It will be understood that as the toy proper is moved through the air'a rotary motion will. be imparted to all of the disks 5 and their blades 7 or in other words a r0- tary or axial movement will be imparted to each individual wheel made up of the disks 5 and theblade 7, and also a rotary motion will be imparted to the hub 1, said hub rotating upon the handle 2. For the purpose of giving a pleasing appearance or in other words blendmg different colors as the. individual wind wheels rotate axially and in a planetary manner with-reference to the hub at an angle to the axis of the disks.

2. In a toy of the class described, a rotatable hub arms secured to said hub and rotatable therewith, posts secured to the arms,

disks pivotally mounted upon the posts, blades carried by the disks, said blades located at an angle to the axes of the disks and the disks and blades revoluble around the hub.

3. In a toy of the class described the com-- bination of a handle provided with a head composed of compressible, segmental members, a rotatable hub loosel mounted upon the head of said handle, ra ial arms secured to said hub and rotatable therewith, posts secured to said arms, said posts bein at an oblique angle with the plane of sai radial arms, disks pivotally mounted upon the posts, blades carried by thedisks and'said blades located at an an 1e to the axes of'the disks, whereby each 0 said disks with the blades carried thereby may be revolved independently by a current of air and whereby the said hub and radial arms will be rotated by reason of the angular position of the posts with reference to the plane of the radial arms.

In testimony that I claim the above, I have hereunto subscribed my name in the presence of two witnesses.

ALBERT J. NUSLY, JR.
